IMG_20210226_180143 by Laxadams, on Flickr

IMG_20210226_180229 by Laxadams, on Flickr

IMG_20210310_155706 by Laxadams, on Flickr



Time to look at the recaros i have with new bolsters


IMG_20210319_172912 by Laxadams, on Flickr

had a new screen put in

IMG-20210330-WA0001 by Laxadams, on Flickr

Battery in the boot, its not the final solution, but it is legit enough to pass a vehicle safety test MOT and it has passed with this


IMG_20210405_112253_586 by Laxadams, on Flickr



since then i have started running logs on the car, looking at MAF readings, air intake temps, water temps etc and everything is looking good.
MAF readings suggest about mit 230's bhp but i cant push hard beyond 5000rpm as i have an issue where the engine almost hits a rev limiter and the turbo stutters.. I suspect it to be a bad N75 but a well known man in the uk (John Newman aka Rubjonny) had the same issue and it was resolved with new coilpacks..so i have odered 4 of those, new N75, new Spark Plugs and i hope this will cure the issue and get me a few more BHP by pushing to the red line.
Logging data below after i put it into PowerBI

fitted my bbs back on after some upgrades to radinox lips... 8.5" rear and 8" front on Pirelli Pzero all round

Great to see you still have this, do you use it as a daily driver?

no its just a weekend toy really, something to learn from and experiment with

Took it up the local spot on the weekend to get some Photos
